Lady Antebellum’s latest single, “Downtown,” is poised to take over the top spot on the country singles chart, and the uptempo goodtime tune is also proving to be a hit in their live shows, as well. The trio is getting a good kick out of performing the song as Lady A member Hillary Scott progresses in her pregnancy. “The second verse, and it’s like [singing] ‘I’ve got some platforms sitting in the corner/ I wanna stroll on a city sidewalk/I’ve got a dress that’ll show a little unh-uh/but you ain’t gettin’ unh-uh if you don’t come pick me up.’ So, it’s like the belly is definitely showing off,” laughs Hillary. “Like the more pregnant I get the funnier it’ll be to perform that song every night. Hopefully, it’ll give everybody a good laugh.”
Hillary is due to give birth to a baby girl in July – it will be the first child for her and husband, Chris Tyrell.
The band is also about to give birth to their fourth studio album, Golden, on May 7th.

HILLARY: “The second verse, and it’s like [singing] ‘I’ve got some platforms sitting in the corner/ I wanna stroll on a city sidewalk/I’ve got a dress that’ll show a little unh-uh/but you ain’t gettin’ unh uh if you don’t come pick me up.’ So, it’s like the belly is definitely showing off. Like the more pregnant I get the funnier it’ll be to perform that song every night. Hopefully, it’ll give everybody a good laugh.” CHARLES: “I don’t know why you don’t take me downtown-it’s because you’re pregnant, Hillary. That’s why we don’t take you downtown.” [Hillary laughs]
